Cool Halloween Tips from old Disney Channel (floating Ghost head)

I hear this Mansion is Haunted! (picture of the day)

Attack of the Pumpkin People in Frontierland

The Pumpkin People have taken over Disneyland....

Where do they come from?   What sort of Magic makes them come alive?  

Cover your ears while they play their pumpkin song--otherwise you to may be turned into a Pumpkin person.

They greet you with smiles and friendship

And then lure you in with games of chance

Don't end up like this guy

Halloween Disneyland blog of the week (Pictures my wife took -with her good camera)

We took a quick trip out to the parks to see the new decorations for Halloween  2011.
My wife forgot that her memory card was still in the computer --so I made the sacrifice of mine.  (She has the better camera anyway).   So instead of me posting pictures I'll just post the link to the blog she did.

Blue Creatures in the Disneyland Parks??? Avatar replaces the never built Beastly Kingdom

Disney and James Cameron have made a deal to bring Avatar to the parks.
Weird news.....The movie did make more money than any other movie in history....
I'c personally like to see more Star Wars related stuff --since there is a whole Galaxy to play with in Star Wars........I don't know what to feel out  Avatar...(it was basically a Blue Alien Pocohontas).   It will hit the Animal Kingdom.....  construction will start in  2013.....

Video of the week (Kurt Russell and The Osmonds in the Haunted Mansion from Wonderful World of Color)

DCA On the farm (The little details --now moving aside for Cars Land)

What Pooh has in Store (The Little Details)

In what I'm calling the little details series......I think for most people it is subconscious.   The area music....The atmosphere.....It is sometimes the little un-noticed details that are what add to your experience that make it more magical....The care and time that is put into ---the backyard of even a store....That little bit extra that you don't think about at the end of a day as you talk about your favorite ride --but that are there filling in the gaps ---creating the environment that you love so much....  For example even in Pooh's store in the far off corners of the Park...The details shine...
